Download or read book Uncertainty Analysis for Fluid Mechanics with Applications written by Robert W. Walters and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews uncertainty analysis methods and their application to fundamental problems in fluid dynamics. Probabilistic (Monte-Carlo, Moment methods, Polynomial Chaos) and non-probabilistic methods (Interval Analysis Propagation of error using sensitivity derivatives) are described and implemented. Results are presented for a model convection equation with a source term, a model non-linear convection-diffusion equation; supersonic flow over wedges, expansion corners, and an airfoil; and two-dimensional laminar boundary layer flow.
